Chinese Company Linked to Alice Huang Obtained Banned Nvidia Chips: Bloomberg
Bloomberg says 22 Nvidia H800 servers reached Shanghai Longteng through Singapore, deepening scrutiny of possible export-control evasion.
- On Friday, Bloomberg News reported that Shanghai Longteng Intelligent Computing, a firm founded by Alice Huang, obtained banned Nvidia H800 chips; the acquisition's method and Huang's involvement remain unclear.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after admitting to extramarital affairs, including one with Huang, intensifying concerns that microchips reached China, the United States' main AI rival in circumvention of Washington's export restrictions.
- Documents submitted to the Chinese government show that Aperia Cloud Services, an official Nvidia partner, purchased servers containing H800 chips from Dell Technologies, which subsequently reached Shanghai Longteng.
- Megaspeed International, where Huang previously served as top executive, is investigating its export control compliance; separately, Malaysia is probing a Megaspeed subsidiary over possible chip diversion.
- Beijing denies that Huang acts as a spy, even as the United States maintains its 2023 ban on H800 exports to China, part of efforts to slow Beijing's AI technology development.
